They're very generous with their meat! Come here if you're feeling like a hot soup to warm your soul. The soup comes unseasoned with a jar of salt in your table so that you can adjust the saltiness to your preference. AND as much green onions as you want to add. Side dishes include kimchi and radish. There's a fair amount of seating here. It was pretty chill on a dinner night.

This place is my go to when I want soup. I love the beef stock and I add so much scallion and Kimchi juice in it. The meats always tender and comes with rice and a bunch of banchan. Our order always come out super fast and it's so filling. Every time we come to LA, we have to fit a meal at Young Dong!! FYI- there's a parking lot in the back!!!!

Casual, local sul lung tang specialist known for their clear broth. Good solid beef flavor. Nice cuts of beef. Kimchi is fine but I liked Han Bat's kimchi more. Seating is indoor only. They have a private large parking lot. Credit cards are accepted.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 I come here every weekend. It is one my favorite korean food and restaurant. I forgot to take a picture of my food. This place is really good and staff are always friendly and helpful. They have a free parking lot in the back. The food itself the most authentic sul lung tang(ox bone soup). The kimchi is really delicious. It is fresh, juicy and not overly spicy. Food is consistent and generous. Try them all. I highly recommended this place.

This is a hot take but I prefer clear sullungtang over the milky version, and I love Young Dong's iteration. Sullungtang runs at a steep cost these days but theirs really hits the spot. So much flavor and a good portion of meat in the soup. The kimchi here is some of the best I've had. It's nothing crazy, but pairs so well with the soup. This is one of those oldschool Ktown establishments and there is definitely a good reason why! A great spot to grab a quick meal but also a very solid takeout / pickup option for those cold nights where you just want soup and rice.

I'm in the mood for soup Simply just because it's raining Funny, but when it's raining I'm in the mood for beef soup (sul lung tang) Sul lung tang is a beef soup with no fat. It looks plain and simple, but it just hits the spot! It's the tender beef, warm and comforting broth that you add white rice and a lot of green onion to. Then there are thin noodles that are just the perfect complement. But that's not all. There is a side sauce that you dip the beef in. It is salty, sweet, sour, and brings out the umami in the beef. Now, add some kimchi to every mouthful. Each spoonful of this goodness just makes you go 'ah~~~'. Side note, I appreciate the fact that there is plenty of parking in the back. The service is very quick, and they leave you alone. But when you ask for kimchi refill over and over, they gladly come by to bring you more.

Came here on a rainy Wednesday around 6 pm. They have a spacious private parking lot behind the restaurant that you can access from right next to it. There was only one group there when we came but a few more parties came in after we ordered. The inside seems to not have been updated in at least the past decade and there are old photos on the walls. But they must be doing something right for people to be coming back! The woman taking orders and delivering all the food was very friendly. She got busier when more parties came in but still was looking at every table to make sure they had everything they needed. The menu seems to change occasionally. When we went, we got #2 beef with no fat stew, #5 ox foot stew, and #7 spicy beef with vegetables. Each was around $16-17. All come with radish and cabbage kimchi, pickled jalapeños, and 1 bowl of rice each. You can ask for more kimchi but more rice will cost $2/bowl. The #2 came out the most bland in terms of seasoning, however the broth was still meaty. It came with flat thin strips of beef and noodles. There was white/black pepper mix and green onions at the table that we added and of course we ate it with the kimchi as we did with all the stews. #5 was already seasoned with white pepper and had a stronger meat flavor. The ox bones inside were covered in collagen and a little meat. #7 was my favorite! It had the most seasoning and saltiness and was perfectly spicy. It had bean sprouts and green onions and the meat was shredded. There were 4 of us splitting the 3 meals since we weren't that hungry. We left satisfied but not full, probably would get my own stew next time (but still try everybody else's haha). Prices have gone up it seems but it makes sense for their location. I would maybe come back on a cold day or night and get the #7 again. I've never had anything like it before and was very happy with the experience.
